MATH 200 Quantitative Tools and Methods
There are concepts employed in science and technology to quantify the natural and theoretical worlds. Explore ways to collect, define, describe and communicate real-world facts. Tools, techniques and methodologies commonly used for analysis, computation, decision making and quantification are covered. Decision analysis, truth tables, conditional logic, data analysis, are some things discussed. Concepts such as conditional probability, statistics, discrete mathematics, Boolean logic, functions, distributions, reasoning and methodologies are also included.
